    http://www.discounthobbywarehouse.com/ <-- this is the place I get most of my parts from, today I installed Trex paddles and fly bar on my 36, it took some filing to the trex flybar for the set screws and I reamed out the sea-saw bar. Spent 10hrs doing the typical blade tracking (normal for worn 36). She now flies VERY responsive! O by the way most of the time was tear down and replace all the bent parts from the crash with light pole.

    It get dark now to early to fly after I get home from work, so I've just hovered 3 batteries worth in my grage to reset all trims and fight modes. I dont like crashing one thing the 36 does do, is make good troubleshooters out of it's owners.

    Do well and enjoy

    Status: offline     		1. the motor is not engaged with the gear, move it back on (1mm clearance) and tighen, don't use locktite
    2. the motor has broken teeth on gear and it is disengaged, buy new gear and replace
    3. pinnion is slipping on motor, use locktite on it to fix
    4. oneway bearing has failed, it is now slipping, replace

    that should fix it, oh and make sure to take a look at the bottom link in my sig to tune this machine.

    Ithinks its more likely to be the oneway bearing is knakerd. have you any idea which one it is as there is about 3 or 4 bearings around tthe two gears. is it that is direct above the main gear?
    Thanks

    Status: offline     		It may also be just a loose grub screw , check the one under the main gear is tight as that will cause the same problem your having

    Status: offline     		No i dont dont think its any of the grub screws. ive just had it apart and there is a bearing inside the main gear. is this some kind of centrifugal clutch which grips the rotor shaft when it spins up??!!
